My Sweet Girl: A Novel

"When Paloma walks into her apartment and finds her roommate dead, she knows things are about to get very messed up. But for Paloma, a transracial adoptee from Sri Lanka now living in California, things are already very complicated. My Sweet Girl is a debut thriller from Amanda Jayatissa and is ostensibly about the mysteries in Paloma’s past. Really, though, it’s an intricate story of the masks we wear, the layers we hide behind, the expectations we try to live up to – and a beautiful meditation on identity."
